Gj. Boons et S. Isles, VINYL GLYCOSIDES IN OLIGOSACCHARIDE SYNTHESIS .1. A NEW LATENT-ACTIVEGLYCOSYLATION STRATEGY, Tetrahedron letters, 35(21), 1994, pp. 3593-3596
We have developed a never latent-active glycosylation strategy. This g
lycosylation strategy is based on isomerisation of substituted allyl g
lycosides to give vinyl glycosides which can subsequently be used in a
Lewis acid mediated glycosylation reaction. This approach will enable
complex oligosaccharides of biological importance to be prepared in a
highly convergent manner.
